The Marsha Barbour Community Center is a tribute to Marsha Barbour, wife of Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, who immediatley mobilized to assist areas in Mississippi most affected by Hurricane Katrina. The Center will serve the families of the community with a half- Olympic-size swimming pool, NBA Cares basketball court, Kaboom playground, and will also host of a variety of classes, programs, and community events.
The Center represents a fulfillment of the vision of another strong Mississippi woman, Reverend Rosemary Willliams, who shared her vision with two Katrina volunteers, celebrity syndicated talk radio host Ellen Ratner and former U-2 pilot Cholene Espinoza. Together, they created hope and new opportunity out of disaster.
