Already crying at the choir singing #arethashomegoing

This photo of Louis Farrakhan Sr., Rev Al, Rev Jackson and Bill Clinton is breathtaking. #ArethaHomegoing

They said Bill Clinton walked in and got a standing ovation. Years later the black community still loves Bill. Now imagine how we will look at the clown 🤡 sitting in the Oval Office now?

Have y’all heard Whitney’s version of ‘I Love The Lord’ from the Preacher’s Wife Soundtrack? Divine! #AreathaHomegoing

Aretha Franklin was a mother of four children, Ted White Jr., Kecalf Cunningham, Clarence Franklin, and Edward Franklin. Thinking of them and the entire Franklin family during this time.❤️

Feeling the same emotions as Pastor Shirley Caesar. Watching them close that casket just breaks my heart. #ArethaHomegoing

The beautiful Cicely Tyson at #ArethaHomegoing

Please look at Rev Jesse Jackson’s reaction. Oh man. #ArethaHomegoing

Will you leave the world better than you found it? That is the question right there! Wow! #ArethaFranklinHomegoing

The emotions prolly got to Faith. She can really sing, the notes just didn’t come out right today.

Chene Park will now be named the Aretha Franklin Park! Wow that’s beautiful 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

“She was paid in advance when she performed...” Ms Franklin was about her business. 🙌🏿🙌🏿

Ariana Grande and her ponytail did alright. The choir shined but Ari held her own. #ArethaFranklinHomegoing

“She never made us make excuses for her....” we will forever stan a non-problematic fave 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

A message from Rev Al to that 🤡 in the Oval Office. “no she used to perform for you, she worked for us..” 👏🏿#ArethaFranklinHomegoing

Whoopi is me singing along every song I love but don’t know the lyrics to.

The Clark Sisters SANG!!!!!!! 👏🏿👏🏿#ArethaHomegoing

Ok so there’s a technical glitch with the #ArethaHomegoing but y’all Ari’s dress. Was it appropriate for a funeral? 🧐

The Holy Spirit is in the building. A praise dance y’all!! #AreathaHomegoing

A standing ovation for Auntie Maxine. Also did she hit us with the Wakanda Forever!?#ArethaHomegoing

We all wanted to know Bill. Aretha Franklin gave us so many outfit changes this past a week. A style icon!

Pastor Shirley Caesar is 79 years young! She looks GOODT! #ArethaHomegoing

Choir director gives me so much LIFE!!! #ArethaHomegoing 😩he’s like give me a signal if you want me to wrap this up!

So much props to Judge Greg Mathis for bringing up the water crisis in Flint. It’s so important to talk about Aretha’s activism...part of her iconic legacy. #SockItToEm #ArethaHomegoing

Was Aretha still dating her long time boyfriend Willie Wilkerson at the time of her passing? If so I hope they let him speak. #ArethaHomegoing

I see Bill & Hillary Clinton dipped already. Oh y’all can’t hang?

Ms Gladys is ready to hit the stage with Chaka! Our living legends. 🙌🏿#ArethaHomecoming

Chaka hit those notes and Rev Jesse Jackson had to get on his feet. What a VOICE!! Yes Chaka!! #ArethaHomegoing

SING CHAKA!!!!!!

This was a beautiful & touching tribute by Ron Isley. #ArethaHomegoing

I love that Rev. Jesse Jackson is taking his time memorializing our Queen. She lived such a full & rich life. #ArethaHomegoing

Now that’s a good idea Dr Barber. Let’s get all these ministers, pastors and influential figures together. Get people to vote! #ArethaHomegoing

You know it’s gon be good when Fantasia starts by taking off her shoes #ArethaHomegoing

Fantasia got Tyler Perry in tears #ArethaHomegoing

“To her family...all you have to do is call...” #YouveGotAFriend 😩❤️Beautiful Fantasia #ArethaHomegoing

So regal. So graceful. A true a Queen 👑 Cicely Tyson ladies and gentlemen. #ArethaHomegoing

You know every time I see Clive Davis I think of the night Whitney died. And how they kept the party going while her body was still in the hotel. So wrong. 😯

Did they tell Michael Eric Dyson that they wouldn’t send him the DVD from today’s service? Look at how far back he’s leaning into the chair recording on his phone! #ArethaHomegoing

Come on soul clap! Everyone is feeling our good sis Yolanda Adams! 👏🏿👏🏿#ArethaHomegoing

Jennifer Hudson looks so pretty! #ArethaHomegoing

Jennifer Hudson’s voice is anointed. 😩 #ArethaHomegoing

Rev Jasper’s talking points. He says we protest when cops kill us but don’t do the same for Black on Black crime. Sir!! Wow I’m not here for it.

Rev Jaspers comments about the black community. Wow I can’t believe he’s saying. #ArethaHomegoing

There’s a Fox News producer trying to book Rev Williams on their lineup tonight. All these statements are so anti-Black. I’m stunned! #ArethaHomegoing

Did he just say the gays need to respect the straights!!! Please get the Rev off this here mic PLEASE!!! #ArethaHomecoming

That performance by Gladys Knight was much needed after that hot mess from the Rev. #ArethaHomegoing

Come on choir don’t leave Stevie hanging! #ArethaHomecoming

Who turned Jenifer Lewis’s mic off? #ArethaHomegoing

That entire ceremony was so beautiful. We all spent the day celebrating the Queen Aretha Franklin. May she Rest In Peace.
