Good morning. It's Monday, Nov. 20. In our top story, cult leader Charles Manson -- responsible for a murderous reign of terror in the late 1960s -- has died.

At Festival Park in Orlando, Puerto Ricans bonded a couple months after Hurricane Maria as they recognized the U.S. territory that was founded 524 years ago.

And finally, it was a fun time Friday night at the Battle of the Bands between Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman. You can see photos of the big event here.
