"Now is the time to make the real promises of Democracy."
I think what Dr. King meant by this is that, he was tired of still not being treated equally like the government said they should have been. Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation roughly one-hundred years prior to his speech, that set the African American slaves free. Free from being owned and sold, but not treated equally. Even in the Constitution it states that all men are created equal and Dr. King was a firm believer in this.
