Why tonight?
- One season, and then it ends — a story with a last episode, not a habit.
- It goes hard on violence — not a wind-down.
The story
Mayor Nick Wasicsko took office in 1987 during Yonkers' worst crisis when federal courts ordered public housing to be built in the white, middle class side of town, dividing the city in a bitter battle fueled by fear, racism, murder and politics.
