The Campaign

The Reinstate Hank campaign calls for the remittal of Opry star, and country music legend, Hank Williams. More than fifty years have passed since the tragic and untimely death of country music's greatest performer, who made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry on June 11, 1949, with the crowd demanding an unheard of six encores.

A few years later, in 1952, Hiram Hank Williams was dismissed from the Opry with the understanding that he would sober up and then return to the stage that he loved so much. Sadly, he passed away in the back seat of his car a few months later and never made that momentous return.

Despite being one of the most powerfully iconic figures in American music, Hank Williams has yet to be reinstated to the Opry. Now, your help is needed to honor and preserve his legacy. Join the campaign and add your signature to the petition to Reinstate Hank Williams to the Grand Ole Opry.

Legend Dale Watson Signs Petition

Howdy Folks!

I received confirmation from Dale this morning that it was indeed him that signed the Reinstate Hank Williams Petition #28059. The public comment he left on the petition was "It's the right thing to do."

I couldn't agree more, and we all feel the same! Let's keep sharing the Petition with friends and family and ask them to do the same!

And a very big thanks to Dale Watson, who also has a Reinstate Banner!!!
