Gorman was born the youngest of 10 sons in a family of 11 children in Louisville, Kentucky. His father, Maurice Gorman born in 1840, was an Irish emigrant from Clonmel, County Tipperary from a "long line of Irish patriots". He traveled to the United States in 1870, entering in New York before settling in Louisville. He was a labor activist as well.[1] In 1970, he was awarded the Eugene V. Debs Award for industrial unionism by the Eugene V. Debs Foundation.
