MINNEAPOLIS — The late Vice President Walter Mondale will be remembered in a May 1 service on the University of Minnesota campus, about a year after his death at age 93.
The memorial will honor his lasting legacy in state and national politics. The Minnesota native rose from the state's youthful attorney general to an influential senator, vice president and Democratic nominee for president.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith will speak at the memorial at Northrop auditorium, as well as presidential historian Jon Meacham. Other speakers have been invited but not yet confirmed, according to a release from the university.
