Isn't HBCU funding the exact thing Trump claimed was one of the great things he did for the Black community?

From Wikipedia:

> Although HBCUs were originally founded to educate black students, their diversity has increased over time. In 2015, students who were either white, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, or Native American made up 22% of total enrollment at HBCUs, compared with 15% in 1976.[42]

He locked in funding over multiple years so that they didn't need to reapply for grants every year.
