barbour proved instrumental in winning state legislative support for the mississippi civil rights museum. legislation to fund a state museum had been introduced every year since 2000, but died for various reasons. in november 2006, barbour proposed creating a state commission to develop plans for the mississippi civil rights museum. in his "state of the state" address on january 16, 2007, barbour said the museum was "overdue, and it needs doing", the proposal won legislative approval, and a site for the museum was selected in march 2008. the project then stalled for three years, however, with museum backers listing lack of direction from the governor's office and barbour's refusal to spend $500,000 in museum planning funds as part of the reason why. barbour also declined to name a museum commission to oversee the final push for funding and construction. barbour announced in late 2010 that he would run for president of the united states. then in an interview with "the weekly standard" neoconservative newsmagazine, barbour appeared to minimize the oppressiveness of racial intolerance in mississippi when he characterized the white citizens' council in his hometown of yazoo city as merely "an organization of town leaders" that kept more radical anti-integrationist elements (like the ku klux klan) at bay. in what many political observers felt was an attempt to disassociate himself from mississippi's racially intolerant past as well as to dampen the criticism over his remarks, barbour again declared his complete support for construction of the mississippi civil rights museum. the museum secured $20 million in funding from the mississippi legislature in april 2011 after barbour personally testified in favor of its funding.

on december 15, 2011, museum organizers announced that african american architect philip freelon would design the building, in association with architect jeffrey barnes of dale partners architects of jackson. the mississippi civil rights museum advisory commission had also been established, and the public was invited to participate in a series of meetings to determine the museum's scope and the type of collections it should acquire. architectural drawings for the building's interior as well as a number of conceptual proposals for the exterior were developed by april 2012, and taken around the state to seek citizen input. interim project manager angela stewart told the press, "we are in the schematic design phase of the museum where simultaneously architects are working on a design for the building. also our exhibit designers are working on exhibits for the building." feedback at that time favored a building with a "distinctive form" with an interior that was dignified. members of the public expressed the concern that the exhibits not whitewash the truth about the civil rights movement in mississippi. forums were also held at the same time to solicit feedback on what the museum should exhibit, collect artifacts, and record oral histories. museum division director lucy allen said that, unlike other civil rights museums, the mississippi civil rights museum would show not only how the civil rights movement impacted mississippi but also the nation.
