Well-wishers leave handwritten notes on boards outside the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History during a public visitation for Aretha Franklin in Detroit. Detroit has been preparing for the funeral of the iconic singer, who died this month at the age of 76. You can live-stream the entire service, including on The Washington Post’s website. Current elected officials will speak, including Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan (D) and Michigan Gov. “We had a lot of love and respect for Aretha,” O’Neil D. Swanson II, the funeral director of the Swanson Funeral Home, told The Post.
