his name is norman mineta. he was born in san jose, california, and he enjoyed 10 years of a happy childhood before he and a population of 120,000 more japanese-americans like him were taken from their homes and held prisoner in internment camps around the country. it was because the united states was at war with japan, but it had little to do with them. they were americans. he took that experience and turned it into something good. convinced that he wanted to make this country a better place for others, he went into politics. he became the mayor of a city, a congressman representing his state, a champion for asian americans, a soldier, a leader in one of america's most innovative companies, and he was chosen by presidents of different political parties to be members of the cabinet. he became the secretary of commerce and then secretary of transportation. his story is a lesson to us all. it is a model on how to turn adversity into something positive, something that contributes to the well-being of us all. here

norman rockwell was trained as an illustrator. he studied in the art student league in new york and learned the basics of painting and drawing the human body and mastered his craft essentially with the skill of being able to recreate in drawings or paintings as accurately and realistically as a camera might. although rockwell said in his autobiography that he sometimes looked at the world as a little too messy and not as ideal as he would like it to be and therefore he made it more ideal in his paintings. he became extraordinarily well known through his art, first working for the boy scouts and then working for magazines, the great one being the saturday evening post. as an artist who appeared on cover of the post millions of people would see his art, far more than were he an artist that was making paintings for a wealthy patron or a museum. he was a very popular artist and chronicled american life from really the teens through the 1920's, 1930's, 1940's, up until the early 1970's. where this exhibition begins is in the early 1930
