50 years ago, the world got a glimpse inside the walls of an institution that was called a school. It was anything but that.
The new Willowbrook Mile on the College of Staten Island campus is a place to learn from an ugly history and to build on the progress.
"Of course I had no idea that 50 years later, 35 years after the closing of this terrible institution, we'd be gathered here celebrating the progress. The world has changed for the developmentally disabled. They have to come out of the shadows. Their lives, their rights, their futures - are now part of all of our lives," said Rivera.
There are 12 stations along the trail, which is actually about two miles - each with a theme representing a milestone, and filled with information. For those who have been making the change happen - hope.
