The Queen of Soul was transported to her final farewell in Rosa Parks' hearse wearing a gold dress inside a gold casket to the Greater Grace Temple where family, celebrity friends and fans gathered. Before the golden casket was closed at the top of a service, Franklin's body could be seen dressed in gold sequins. More than eight music-filled hours later, Stevie Wonder took to the stage. He wowed with his harmonica skills and then brought the remaining mourners at Franklin's lengthy funeral to their feet with a moving version of "As".

"Instead of just being a bystander and just taking everything he throws verbally at us," Truax said into the camera, he decided to do something about it. "We're about to make a splash," Truax's friend said on the video, then Truax cursed out the president, repeating the song's expletive-laden refrain. "You can't be coming on my block supporting some Donald Trump - - - - - - . You 'bout to go get hit." Soon after arriving at the arena, Truax launched two water balloons into the crowd.
