Martin Luther translated the Bible from Latin into the German language and for the first time common people are able to read what it says in the Bible. In 1957, King joined with other African-American religious leaders to find the Southern Christian Leadership Conference; a year later, he published his first book, Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story. That December he was named Time magazine's Man of the Year, and a year later collected the Nobel Peace Prize. In regards to him passing on his widow wife , Coretta Scott King, established the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, and in 1986 his birthday was declared a federal holiday. The bill established the Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday Commission to oversee observance of the holiday.
