Play as the character Jamal Davis and experience some of the racial bias he encounters along his way to becoming a university professor.

This is a podcast series that would be appropriate for our 8th graders doing NHD research. Each of these podcasts could be assigned as homework a couple of nights before these topics are covered in class so that students come into class with a basic understanding of the content to be covered that day. I guess it would be a little bit like "flipping" the class for that day. The teacher could have a quick discussion about detecting bias in primary sources based on the information from the podcast and then the rest of the class could be freed up for students to actually rotate through primary sources and practice detecting bias.

Another teacher shared this site with me recently- it's helpful for finding multiple articles on the same topic but with different political bias.
