Rev. Jasper Williams, eulogist for both Rev. C. L. Franklin and his daughter Aretha Franklin fired back at critics two days after delivering a blistering call to arms to the Black community at the celebration of life services for Aretha.

“I was just telling the truth. We have lost our soul as a race,” Williams said one day after his eulogy of the Queen of Soul.
