 February 14, 2012 is Arizona’s 100th birthday. To celebrate our state’s centennial, KJZZ's Fronteras: the Changing America Desk reporters want to take a look back at what’s made this state special.
Beginning on Statehood Day and continuing throughout 2012, we’ll be running stories highlighting Arizona’s history.
We want to include you in the coverage. Whether you’re a native Arizonan or new to the state, KJZZ wants to hear from you!
What are your memories of the iconic people, places, and things that make up Arizona? What makes you proud to live here?
What do you hope the state can accomplish in its second 100 years?
Please, take a few minutes to fill out this form and share your thoughts with us. We may follow up with you for an interview.
