This year, the event starts at noon, is free and open to the public. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial\">Gilmore was born and raised in Omaha. She graduated from North High School, received a bachelor of science degree in education and a master of science degree in education administration, both from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial\"><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial\">Gilmore had a 31-year career in the Omaha Public School system as a teacher, assistant principal and principal. She writes a column for the Omaha World-Herald and Revive!, an African-American lifestyle and community empowerment magazine. In addition, she wrote an inspirational children&#8217;s book about Omaha and book about grief for PULSE, a group assisting families of homicide victims. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial\">A role model for women of all ages, Gilmore is a member of Concerned and Caring Educators, NSEAR, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the Urban League and the NAACP. She also is a board member for Project Hope, African-American Empowerment, Inc. and the community advisory board of Bright Futures Foundation. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial\">Gilmore has received several awards and recognitions including the College of Education University of Nebraska at Omaha Distinguished Alumni Award, YWCA Tribute to Women, Viking of Distinction and Omaha Schools Foundation Award. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial\">A well-sought after motivational speaker, she titled her Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech, &quot;Has the dream been realized?&quot; <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial\">Gilmore said she is grateful for the opportunity to share her thoughts on this historic celebration. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"arial\">&quot;While many in our community are excited about the upcoming change in our country&#8217;s administration, the timeliness of Dr. King&#8217;s birthday is a great opportunity for reflection,&quot; Gilmore said. &quot;I am honored to have a voice in my community.&quot; <\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">UNMC is the only public health science center in the state. Its educational programs are responsible for training more health professionals practicing in Nebraska than any other institution.
