An exhibit dedicated to the life and legacy of late music icon Aretha Franklin will open to the public Tuesday at the Detroit museum that hosted public visitations after her death.
“Think: A Tribute to the Queen of Soul” runs until January 21 at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.
“This is an opportunity for people to come back and engage, reminisce and reflect,” according to Wright museum board member Kelly Major Green. “It’s the beginning of a much longer expression of who Aretha is,” she told the Detroit Free Press.
Franklin, who had long been suffering from cancer, died at 76 in Detroit on August 16.
The Queen of Soul was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2010. Despite undergoing surgery and frequent illness, she performed on stage regularly, as recently as last year.
