Johnny Cash Americanism Award

Why does the Anti-Defamation League give out a Johnny Cash Americanism Award? When I looked all I really found was that the Anti-Defamation League fought Anti-Semitism, but I can’t find a solid link between it’s causes and Johnny Cash. Can anybody help?

BUMP

Fighting anti-semitism is cool. Johhny Cash is cool. What more do you need? :slight_smile:

Johnny Cash was the first honoree. And he is cool. Not a great fan of his music, though.

Are you kidding? Ring of Fire is the best damn song ever!

Trivia question:

Who is the oldest living rap singer?
Yep, Johnny Cash, the King of Gangster Rap.

Oh don’t get me wrong. homer. I like Cash’s music just fine. I’m just not a “great” fan of country music in general. A matter of taste, that’s all.
His TV show;

was the best music/variety show on television, ever. He took a lot of heat from the traditional crowd for some of the guests and songs on this show. Same goes for his political views. I admire the man.
