About The Willowbrook Legacy Project @ CSI/ CUNY

The Willowbrook Legacy Project (WLP) works to commemorate the history and legacy of the Willowbrook State School Site, which now houses the College of Staten Island/CUNY. From 1947 to 1975 the Willowbrook State School was the world’s largest institution to house persons diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Its closing as a result of advocacy for the rights of its residents is a significant landmark in disability history. The WLP aims to preserve the site’s history and to create a visionary presence that commemorates the social justice and deinstitutionalization movement to ensure the rights of all persons to live with dignity and thrive in their communities.For more information: Willowbrook Mile website or email Willowbrook@csi.cuny.edu
