KATE CAVETT grew up in Minnesota listening to her father’s stories about his childhood
in the Indian Territory of Oklahoma and the Italian Campaign of World War II. She has
collected oral histories from over 150 men, women, elders, youth, parents, community
members, business owners, police officers, college professors, musicians, and gang
members. She has had the opportunity to spend hundreds of hours listening to
reflections on parenting, careers, neighborhoods, friends, sorrows, passions, racism,
fears, and joys.
Ms. Cavett, who has a B.A. in counseling and an M.A. in human development, has
presented to groups of 5 to 1,000 around the United States. She is the award-winning
consulting producer of Oh Freedom Over Me, a radio documentary that considers the
history of Mississippi Freedom Summer 1964 as a challenge to address racism today.
Cavett won the 2006 Minnesota Book Award for Voices of Rondo: Oral Histories of Saint
Paul’s Historic Black Community. Kate is the oral historian for the Saint Paul Police Oral
History Project. When not listening to people’s stories, Kate finds joy in theater, art
shows, jazz, blues, friends, and walking her Yorkie.
Presentations and classes on doing oral histories
Speaking Engagements:
Kate has presented to groups of 5 to 1,000 throughout Minnesota and around the United
States including New York City, NY; Fairbanks, Alaska; Stevens Point, WI; and taught an
oral history class for Century College in White Bear Lake, MN and the Danish Geological
Association.
