How federal emergency aid helped offset costs for students in historically Black schools

Over $3 billion specifically for historically Black colleges and universities and more than $1 billion to minority-serving institutions where many students face fiscal hardship. Yamiche Alcindor reports for our "Rethinking College" series.
