American History TV is airing oral history interviews with former and current Asian American members of Congress. We start with Norman Mineta of California, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was also named Secretary of Commerce under President Clinton and Secretary of Transportation under President George W. Bush. Mineta begins by recounting how his family was sent to a Japanese American internment camp during World War II, and explains how that experience led to his long career in public service.
