The legendary journalist recently joined Rundown host Lisa Brady to look back at some his biggest accomplishments and discuss his news series on Fox Nation, "I Am Geraldo: 50 Years." In the segment, Geraldo went in to great detail about his report on the Willowbrook State School. In the 1972 story that catapulted him to national fame, Rivera exposed how the facility located in Staten Island, New York was neglecting and abusing thousands of developmentally and physically disabled people.
