What happened the night that Milk was assassinated?

Answer
A
riots in the city
B
a repeal of the Gay Rights Ordinance
C
a candlelight vigil

Explanation

After Harvey Milk was assassinated in San Francisco in 1978, thousands of people gathered for a candlelight march and vigil. The vigil was a public expression of grief; the repeal of the Gay Rights Ordinance had happened earlier, and riots were not the event that night described here. The correct choice is a candlelight vigil.
