C-SPAN Classroom Interactive Timelines Supreme Court U.S. History US History Lesson Plans

This evening I found myself browsing through the lesson ideas on C-SPAN Classroom when I discovered an interactive timeline of important cases and other significant events in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court. The timeline was built on the Dipity platform which allows you to include video clips and images with each event on your timeline. The C-SPAN Supreme Court timeline includes videos of scholars talking about the significance of some of the cases included in the timeline. I've embedded the timeline below.
