Willowbrook

I am speaking to some students at St. Olaf next week.  I wanted to show part of a newsreport from 1972 that Geraldo Rivera did on the horrors that people with developmental disabilities experienced when they lived at Willowbrook School in New York.  While looking for a clip, I found this blog, written by a daughter of a former resident of Willowbrook.  This may just be the saddest thing I've ever read.

It was one year ago today dad that you left us for a better place.  I think about you often, I think about you every day and I miss you.  It just seems like yesterday when you were here.  Anyways, I love you dad and do you think you could put in a good word for the Vikings with the big guy?
