Supreme Court of the United States[edit]
Everett Gilmore was always concerned with local and state political issues, he believed in his progressive ideals of civil liberties and contended that they were outlined in the Bill of Rights. One instance resulted in the 1968 United States Supreme Court - James vs. Gilmore, dealing with unconstitutional loyalty oaths. Hired as an adjunct teacher for one student, the college insisted he sign a loyalty oath.[1]
He filed suit as the plaintiff in that case and his suit prevailed. The judges “promptly declared the oath unconstitutional and enjoined its enforcement.”[2]
In recognition of Everett Gilmore, the University of North Texas College of Music established the Everett M. Gilmore Orchestra Tuba Scholarship. Gilmore devoted himself to performing and teaching the art of fine musical performance. The award stated that he had, “made a significant impact on many lives throughout the university and beyond.[3]
