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.
It's been a bit since the last posting here, but there's some new things happening with Reinstate Hank Williams! Outlaw Magazine asked if there are Reinstate Hank supporters that want to submit a 2 min or less video for display in a special section of their site just for Reinstate Hank.
Here's a pillar to the Reinstate Hank Campaign known on MySpace as "FreeHank3".
