Scope and Content of Collection
A 20 minute super 8 film taken by Williams and Joegh Bullock the night of the White Night Riots. Though the actual riot was
not recorded, its aftermath of the long procession of police cars driving up Market Street to the Castro and scenes of the
Elephant Walk Police Riot are documented. The White Night riots were a series of events sparked by an announcement of the
lenient sentencing of Dan White for the assassinations of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Harvey Milk, a member of
the city's Board of Supervisors and an openly gay elected official. GSSO linked terms: http://semanticscience.org/resource/SIO_000297
