The resolution commemorates the bicentennial of the Marquis de Lafayette's visit to Alabama in 1825, recognizing his significant contributions to the American Revolution as a Major General in the Continental Army and a close aide to General George Washington. Lafayette's visit, which took place during a nationwide tour to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the American Revolution, included stops in various Alabama locations such as Montgomery and Mobile. This visit served to rekindle American enthusiasm for the founding principles of liberty and equality during a politically divided era.

To honor this historical event, a series of commemorative activities for K-12 students and the general public will be organized from March 30 to April 8, 2025, along the route Lafayette traveled. The resolution encourages appreciation for Lafayette's unifying presence and commends the Alabama organizations involved in these events for fostering education and patriotic reflection among citizens. Each entity hosting commemorative events will receive a copy of the resolution as recognition of their contributions to public service and American ideals.
