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.
