W. Kamau Bell: Why America needs its HBCUs

As part of the "United Shades" episode about historically black colleges and universities, known as HBCUs, I talked to Howard University grad and tech innovator Jewel Burks, whose startup Partpic was acquired by Amazon a few years ago.

She said she felt like an HBCU campus was the only place she could truly be herself in college -- not her "black" self, but herself self.
