SAN JOSE, Calif. — Former U.S. President Bill Clinton will lead a who’s-who of political speakers at the San Jose memorial for Norman Y. Mineta next week.
Mineta, who died May 3 at age 90, served as Clinton’s Secretary of Commerce in 2000. He was the first Asian American to hold a cabinet position.
In a statement upon hearing news of Mineta’s death, Clinton called him “an extraordinary public servant, American patriot, and good and honorable man.”
