   In the struggle for civil rights for the Asian Pacific American community, one finds that role models and leaders are often hard to come by. But I've always found that the work of Norman Mineta stands tall like a beacon to those of us who are finding our way through the darkness. The incredible accomplishments that he has achieved have been a source of inspiration for our community.
