A graduation ceremony in Franklin, Tennessee turned into a soaking wet controversy after officials decided to keep the event outdoors during a torrential downpour. Footage from the ceremony shows graduates crossing the stage in heavy rain while families sat drenched in the stands as the storm moved through the area. Now some parents are demanding answers, saying students deserved better and arguing the conditions became unsafe.

@DanyellIrby @I95Business Congratulations.🎉

When you watch the Super Bowl halftime show tonight, know that "In Living Color" helped make it what it is. In 1992, the show aired live counter-programming during halftime -- and pulled millions away from the game. A year later, the NFL responded by booking Michael Jackson -- launching the modern, superstar halftime show era. It's among the stories explored in my book about the legacy of Black comedy, "Black Out Loud." Pre-order at blackoutloudbook.com!
