So I just got lost on YouTube looking for old footage of Yonkers and found some gems.
Here's a short section of a news piece by Peter Jennings from 1986 talking about the situation in Yonkers. The first two minutes cover school integration, and then it moves on to the subject of the new housing units. Protest organizer Jack O'Toole makes an appearance, as does NAACP attorney Mike Sussman and Mayor Angelo Martinelli. There's also some residents interviewed who are incredibly hostile to the idea of black folk moving across the street.

Next is a playlist of a news show called 48 Hours which aired in 1988. The episode is called "Not On My Street" and it's just fantastic. It starts off with lots of scenes in Yonkers City Hall which were recreated for Show Me a Hero (including a helicopter flyover), and then moves on to cover various aspects of the situation. It's separated into 5 or six mini stories, all worth watching. We see various people from Show Me a Hero such as Mike Wasicsko, Jack O'Toole, Mike Sussman (in an insane TV studio yelling match), and Mary Dorman. It also includes plenty of cheesy 80's commercials, including the Noid and a Bush-Quayle ad shaming Dukakis for being anti-environmental.

Finally, a horrible quality but still great video of a Yonkers City Council meeting from 1989. It features a mic-slapping Hank Spallone and Mayor Mike Wasicsko trading jabs.
