She lived through blacks being treated as 2nd class citizens to shaking the black president’s hand. That must feel surreal.

Damn, this woman was born in 1910. Lived through two world wars, the Great Depression, the mainstreaming of movies, the birth of jazz, Korea, Vietnam, the birth of rock and Motown, Kennedy, the birth of tv, the moon landing, Civil Rights, The Cold War, the Internet, 9/11, the War on Terror, all the way iPhones and the first Black President. What a remarkable witness of history she is.

Virginia McLaurin died at home in Olney, Maryland, on November 14, 2022, at the age of 113 years, 247 days. She witnessed so much Black History during her lifetime. It is wonderful that she managed to fulfill her dream in going to the Whitehouse, and the bonus of meeting the Obamas made it even more of a fantastic experience.

@@Noelll The Jim Crow era definitely went on for longer. Brown vs Board in 1954 segregated schools because the U.S. Supreme Court found Jim Crow laws to be unconstitutional because they were obviously not "equal" when claiming to be "separate but equal". To be honest you could probably claim they went on until at least the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Just imagine, that lady must have been born around 1910 so she must have experienced so much racism, oppression and injustice during her younger years- just to make it to the proud age of 106 to meet the first black president of the united states. I know racism is still alive, but that still is unbelievably heartwarming...

+Al Garabedian Well a presidency not only works over laws and policies, but also symbols and signals sent into the society, which can be done by single events as well as speeches etc. Which is what I love about the Obama's, they "preach" kindness, peace, equality, humor, a positive, open hearted attitude. 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.
@bigginaf

Brownland Cleve They preach kindness, peace, equality, humor, etc.? Are we talking about the same Obama family? The same family where Michelle Obama continues to spread her racist rants? 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. They have been a plague to this country. Both his administration and Bush Jr's administration have destroyed this country.

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.

+John Smith You hate whites? Excuse me but, I don't believe we have met before. I'm a descendant of the Scots-Irish people (a group from Ulster county in Ireland) As my history tells me, the Scots-Irish people were slaves longer than any other race in the history of mankind. 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. Please, learn more about the slavery of others, not just blacks.
