Answer

celebrate the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

demand that President Kennedy leave office.

Explanation

The 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom pressed for civil and economic rights for African Americans, including an end to segregation and discrimination. Its demands included legal equality, so choice A is correct. The march took place before major federal civil rights legislation was passed, and it did not seek to celebrate a holiday or force President Kennedy from office.
