===Tributes===
After Franklin's death, fans added unofficial tributes to two [[New York City Subway]] stations: the [[Franklin Street (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line)|Franklin Street]] station in [[Manhattan]], served by the {{NYCS trains|Broadway-Seventh local header}}, and the [[Franklin Avenue-Fulton Street (New York City Subway)|Franklin Avenue]] station in [[Brooklyn]], served by the {{NYCS trains|Franklin-Fulton header}}. Both stations were originally named after other people. Although the fan tributes were later taken down, the subway system's operator, the [[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]], placed permanent black-and-white stickers with the word "Respect" next to the "Franklin" name signs in each station.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=NYC Subway Stations Pay Tribute to Aretha Franklin With 'Respect' Signs|first=Rania|last=Aniftos|date=September 4, 2018|magazine=Billboard|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/8473448/nyc-subway-stations-aretha-franklin-tribute|access-date=December 4, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | last=Mocker | first=Greg | title=New Yorkers pay tribute to Aretha Franklin on MTA subway stations | website=WPIX 11 New York | date=August 1, 2018 | url=https://pix11.com/2018/08/31/respect-for-aretha-franklin-at-mta-subway-stations-in-nyc/ | access-date=December 4, 2018}}</ref>
