According to the Japanese American National Museum, which was the chairman, Mr. Mineta died at his home in Maryland on the 3rd.
Mr. Mineta was born in California in 1931 as a second-generation Japanese-American and grew up in a concentration camp during the Pacific War.
He served as a member of the House of Representatives for about 20 years from 1975, and was appointed Secretary of Commerce in 2000 as the first Japanese-American minister.
