Summary: The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Commission met on June 16, 2026, with members present in person and Senator Bill Stanley joining virtually. The main item was the Yvonne Miller tribute work group’s recommendation to commission a portrait of Senator Yvonne Miller and place it on the first floor of the Capitol rotunda, on a wall between the House and Senate chambers. The work group reported that the family had provided a preferred photograph for the portrait, and members noted the location’s visibility and symbolic significance, especially given Senator Miller’s service in both chambers. The commission discussed procurement and funding questions for the portrait project. Staff explained that a request had been made to exempt the artist contract, custom framing, and mounting from the usual rigid VPPA process, and that a response was expected by the end of the week. A member also asked about a fiscal sponsor, and staff responded that the commission has a $50,000 appropriation plus carry-forward funds that should likely cover the project, making additional donations unnecessary at this stage. A motion was made and seconded to adopt the work group’s recommendations on both the portrait and its location, and the commission approved the motion unanimously. Members described the project as historic, noting that Senator Miller would be the first African-American woman honored in that space. The chair also invited attendees to a separate Uprooting Commission listening session later that day, and the meeting then adjourned.

Summary: The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Commission met with several new and returning members and staff introductions, then reviewed its 2026 legislative actions. Staff reported that HJ 87, designating April 13 as a day of remembrance for victims of lynching in Virginia, passed the General Assembly unanimously, and HJ 18/SJ 12 authorized the commission to commission and place a portrait of the Honorable Yvonne Bond Miller in the Capitol. Members discussed the historical background of the lynching remembrance resolution and the need to plan a meaningful annual observance, including possible collaboration with museums and organizations that have already done related work. The commission then focused on the Yvonne Bond Miller portrait project. Members discussed selecting an artist, consulting the Miller family on photo choices, and working with the House and Senate clerks on Capitol placement and portrait procedures. The commission voted to exempt the project from the usual RFP process for selecting a portrait artist, and also voted to contact the Virginia Capitol Foundation to establish a fund to receive donations for the portrait. A work group was named to move the project forward, with the goal of having the portrait completed and installed by early next year. Finally, the commission reviewed the final report of the commission to study slavery. Members agreed the report should be turned into a more polished, accessible publication rather than left as a plain document, with possible use in schools, community centers, and presentations. Staff noted the report is already online, and members discussed adding visuals and creating a presentation to help disseminate the findings more broadly. The meeting ended with no further business, and the existing virtual meeting policy was noted as still in effect.
