As seen in the video. Unfortunately a president can only use symbolic events such as meeting this very lady but doesn't have the time to meet them all.

The same Obama family that Barack Obama supports the BLM movement and does nothing to protect police officers all over the U.S.? Oh and just a couple of days ago during a press conference he held while in Louisiana because of the flood, almost a week after the flood happened because he was too busy golfing at Martha's Vineyard mind you, said, "I only have 5 months left, so I don't care about policy." I think you really need to take your head out of the sand. The Obama family have done nothing but run up a tab that they will never pay for and leave it for the American people to pay for.

Ms. McLaurin was born in 1909 and is still with us (May 11, 2018). And she's really doing something with her life. A few points: * It was illegal for women to vote for 11 more years. * Her husband was one of the first to give his life in WWII. * In her early 80s, 'Grandma Virginia' began what turned into over two decades of mentoring schoolchildren (some with special needs) in D.C. * In 2017 she received the President's Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) for Lifetime Achievement. She's on my list of heroes. Update Oct 31, 2024: Ms. McLaurin passed at home on November 14, 2022 at, yes, the age of 113.

So I suspect this old woman’s grandparents were slaves, and she might have heard their stories as a tiny girl. When she saw Obama, she was probably imagining her grandparents’ faces and how now finally they are free and equal.

It was not just blacks who suffered, there were many, Asians, Italians, Russians, Irish, Scottish. These people, when they immigrated, were treated as inferior (having Irish blood was just as bad as having black skin) I have no issue with you-I've never met you.

She was 54 years old when the civil rights act was signed so she probably suffered a long time from the years of segregation. And the fact that she lived to she the day where she was not constantly being judged by the color of her skin and actually managed to achieve her dreams is so heartwarming.
