Alabama has one year left to mark its 200 years as a state.

Gov. Kay Ivey launched the year of Alabama’s bicentennial at the Alabama State Capitol Friday, saying it will be a year to celebrate and educate.

“We have an opportunity in front of us, and just as Alabamians have done for the past 199 years, we will make the most of that opportunity,” she said. “Alabama is defined by its people. It’s that simple. As we near our state’s bicentennial, we recognize that our story of success is told by our people. And that is who we are celebrating: the Alabamians who got us here, all the men and women across our state today and the future generations of Alabamians who will help take us to even greater heights.”
