AL Coat of Arms -- AL State Capitol, Montgomery AL - Coats of Arms on Waymarking.com

The AL State coat of arms on the elevators to the upper floors of the building just past the rotunda, inside the AL State Capitol building.

Given the controversy over Confederate symbolism and mythology, hopefully one day this coat of arms will be redesigned. But for now, it is an impudent and defiant assertion of Noble Lost Cause mythology and symbolism.

The coat of arms is just over the bank of elevators past the rotunda in the AL State Capitol Building
