The history section of this article ends in the 19th century. A 20th century section is required, which should include such information as the cure for tuberculosis (Seaview Home and Hospital), and the Willowbrook State School.

This is a historical reference not a cultural reference. It belongs in the history section. Also, the scandal refers to the incidents at the State School, not the neighborhood.

Staten Island became more diverse in recent years. I think that this is an important point. Dr.AlexandraLevin ( talk) 18:19, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply
