Today, the Willowbrook State School is long gone. On the former
grounds stands a school dedicated to assisting the developmentally
disabled. This school is the College of Staten Island. In this clip
Geraldo gives a commencement speech for the Department of Sociology,
Anthropology and Social Work. The students, atmosphere, and attitude of
this event are an excellent positive note, and show how despite what a
travesty on the human conscience Willowbrook State School was, thousands
have been inspired and are committed to never allowing the same
mistakes.
