Alabama’s State Motto• “We Dare Maintain Our Rights” • The idea for Alabama's state motto came from Marie
Bankhead Owen of the Alabama Department of Archives and History while searching for a phrase to be put on the state coat of arms (completed in 1923).
• The motto was inspired by a poem by the 18th-century author Sir William Jones which includes the stanza,
"What constitutes a state? . . .Men who their duties know,but know their rights,and knowing, dare maintain."
