Asian American community battles surge in hate crimes stirred from COVID-19

As the U.S. continues its battle against COVID-19, it is also battling a rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans.

Stephanie Sy looks at how the violence has marred one community, and how they are coming together in its wake.
