An excellent database to use is, especially when you're still searching: Search your topic and receive brief reports from multiple perspectives. We also have hard copies of the CQ in the library on the shelf below the window by the Blue Lab. The books are arranged by year.
Gale Databases: Instructions: Use the password "lancers" for each of the databases on this link. Other Resources by Topic *in addition to the databases listed above, try these sources*
Human Trafficking
Racism Obviously this is a huge topic, so you may want to narrow down your searches by looking for things like "racism in America" or "history of racism" or even more narrow like "Black Lives Matter" or similar topics. You may also want to search for "institutional racism" or "systemic racism" or even "racism and mass incarceration" or include another topic keyword. This is probably the broadest topic and you will need to be purposeful in your searching to find sources that are relevant and helpful to your topic. I've given you general search results here, but know there are also 100s of magazine and newspaper articles from credible sources (New York Times, The Atlantic, The Economist, Washington Post, etc) that can help you. - Anti-Defamation League page on racism. Explore this website as there's a ton of useful information, depending on your focus.
