The present Alabama State Flag was authorized by the Alabama Legislature on February 16，1895，by act number 383.According to the Acts of Alabama，1895，the state flag was to be a crimson（深红色的）cross of St.Andrew on a field of white.The bars forming the cross were not to be less than six inches broad and must extend diagonally（对角地）across the flag from side to side.The act does not designate a square or a rectangular （矩形的，成直角的）flag.
Under an Act approved September 26，1923，the flag of the State，as well as the flag of the United States，is required to be displayed every day on which school is in session，at all schools in the State which are supported even in part by public funds.
State Song州歌
Alabama
Alabama，Alabama，
We will aye（永远地）be true to thee，
From thy Southern shores where groweth，
By the sea thy orange tree.
To thy Northern vale（谷）where floweth，
Deep blue the Tennessee，
Alabama，Alabama，we will aye be true to thee！
Broad thy stream whose name thou bearest；
Grand thy Bigbee rolls along；
Fair thy CoosaTallapoosa
Bold thy Warrior（勇士，武士），dark and strong，
Goodlier than the land that Moses
Climbed lone Nebos Mount to see，
Alabama，Alabama，we will aye be true to thee！
From thy prairies broad and fertile（肥沃的，富饶的），
Where thy snowwhite cotton shines，
To the hills where coal and iron
Hide in thy exausted mines，
Strongarmed miners—sturdy farmers；
Loyal hearts whater we be，
Alabama，Alabama，we will aye be true to thee！
From thy quarries（挖出，苦心找出）where the marble
White as that of Paros gleams
Waiting till thy sculptorss chisel（凿子），
Wake to life thy poets dreams；
Fear not only wealth of nature，
Wealth of mind has no fee，
Alabama，Alabama，we will aye be true to thee！
Where the perfumed southwind whispers，
Thy magnolia（木兰，玉兰类的植物）groves among，
Softer than a mothers kisses，
Sweeter than a mothers song，
Where the golden jasmine （茉莉，淡黄色）trailing，
Woos the treasureladen bee，
Alabama，Alabama，we will aye be true to thee！
Brave and pure thy men and women，
Better this than corn and wine
Make us worthy，God in Heaven
Of this goodly（优秀的，优美的）land of Thine（你的）.
Hearts as open as thy doorways.
Liberal hands and spirits free.
Alabama，Alabama，we will aye be true to thee！
Little，little can I give thee，
Alabama，mother mine.
But that little—hand，brain，spirit.
All I have and am are thine（你的）.
Take，O take，the gift and giver（送礼者）.
Take and serve thyself with me.
Alabama，Alabama，we will aye be true to thee！
