Explanation:

The March on Washington in 1963 aimed to bring national attention to the fight for civil rights and demand major legislative changes. It was a call for the U.S. government to take action and pass laws supporting equality. The Civil - Rights Act was signed later in 1964, so it couldn't be celebrated at the 1963 march, and raising awareness about mistreatment of Black veterans was not its main purpose.

Answer:

to demand the U.S. government take action and pass laws supporting equality
