I have used www.teachingtolerance.com   for resources. They have free 
videos and teachers guides. They also have a magazine with great ideas 
and articles.
I passed on the videos to the Social Studies teacher, as they were about 
the Civil Rights movement and such. But found it to be a good resource. 
One article was about athletes. There was a picture of a heavy girl and 
the caption asked if she was an athlete. Then the article explained she 
lifts weights and is really good at what she does. It gets students 
thinking about their prejudices and judgments.
