- At age 106, Virginia McLaurin was lucky enough to meet President Obama and the first lady during a Black History Month event at the White House. Watch her dance with the Obamas as they greet one another.
She was alive and dancing until November 14th, 2022.
May she rest in peace 🙏
Too bad the dignity of the presidential office is dead.
I am glad to know. Thank you for the update!
WOW!
Nice
She's an ABSOLUTE UNIT.
She’s still alive as of November, 2019.
Edit: She’s alive as of March, 2022. 113 years old.
Edit 2: Virginia passed away in November 2022. May she rest in peace.
That's insane.
Great

Born in Jim Crow, lived to meet the first black president. I'd be jumping for joy too, rest in peace Mrs. McLaurin.
Thats epic
How was she born in Jim Crow?? i think you messed up Noel the Great SMH
@@ericmanes5154 One google search will tell you Jim Crow era was from 1877 - 1950
@@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.
Obama was NOT black. It's genealogically impossible to be black when you have one white parent and one black parent. Anthropologically he is MULATTO
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.
She is almost half as old as the US.
Wow. Just wow.
My grandfathers father is 102 he was born in 1916
I love her
Yup ! ! ! !
When she says "A Black President!" Tears because you know she never thought she'd see the day, much less dance with he and the First Lady in the White House!! A lovely moment.
Damn. That old girl was excited like a youth.
Mines too
she's really excited lol im not gonna blame her though
@S N Y D E R Remember when a bunch of conservatives had a conspiracy theory that Obama was Muslim, the Antichrist and not an American citizen?
I GOT TEARS IN MY EYES. YES A BLACK PRESIDENT AND A BLACK WIFE. THANKS BARACK FOR NOT GOING WITH A WHITE WIFE. IT WOULDN’T MARK THE HISTORY OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
"I'm here to celebrate Black History..."
Madame, you are Black History and a true inspiration!
I watch this whenever I need cheering up. What she lived through, what she saw....
I’m pretty certain she might have passed by now, but wow, what a lady.
@Taha LetsPlay That’s fabulous! Wow!
@Taha LetsPlay that's amazing! Would have loved to see her reaction to Kamala Harris being elected as vice president :)
@Jules G you do know that everyone has a biological father, right?
@Jules G Yeah, tell that to the racist senate who blocked Obama’s every move. He was certainly Black to them.
PS: No one cares about Obama’s mother. She wasn’t president.
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.
Sad to hear. Happy that her wishes came true. Well done Obamas, well done.
Thank you for updating. I just hope someone could get her to sit still long enough to record her life story.
An incredible life. Deserves to be thoroughly doctor.
So much respekt for this lady. RIP may god bless her.
OMG 113 YEARS
We will NEVER fully understand how powerful this moment was for her.
So true

To think she was 53 years old when Martin Luther King made his "I have a dream" speech! And she was still alive when the first black president was elected! Absolutely amazing!
That is pretty amazing, she witnessed a lot of history in her lifetime
she was even older than MLK when he made that speech!
i can just imagine when she hit 80 she was prob like gonna die anytime now
OMG, thats incredible
53???? Damn
This woman has witnessed so much history, especially the President. This fills my heart!!

Amazing lady, so happy to know that she is still going strong. Best wishes from England.
does anyone know if she was properly interviewed anywhere? I'm just imagining all the stories she could tell...
Like today? a hole
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.
OMG that's amazing 🤗👏🏾👵🏾💖☺
I was born on May 11
What a great person!
Omg her husband died in ww2 amazing
HOLY MOLY DOES ANYONE KNOW IF SHE IS STILL ALIVE?
SHE IS AWESOME!!
Update: Virginia is still alive happily and dancing as always, turned 113 a few days ago, god bless her

No freakin‘ way, just saw how old the video was and was like, oh man.. but nooo she’s still here what a legend. God surely watches over her for a loooong time already
oh wow! she's still doing very well, that's amazing.
Wow!
She seems extremely healthy and energetic I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets to meet another black president
C W as if she will live that long
Cameron Wants Coin you sound like you support trump
C W lol what are you talking about u sound stupid
Cameron Wants Coin way to be positive
Doubt she's going to live past 2024
when she looked up at him and said ''a black president'' i started crying, i can't imagine how much that meant to her after living through so much
Amen
Amen brother 🙏🙏🙏
Amen...so pleased to see...and I’m a white guy
Think of the things she was absolutely not allowed to do for so long in her life cause she was black...then living to see this...
No one has been waiting longer than her to see that
Considering that when she was born, slavery only outlawed for not even 50 years yet. Amazing that she lives long enough to see the first African American POTUS.
Plus, she lived through all the segregation, desegregation, and civil rights movements
And in some places in America, slaves weren't free until the 30's. Imagine.
Yes she's 111 years old now
Well said mi friend I somehow feel proud too lol
Her grandparents very well may have been slaves...I mean...wow...there's a lot of racism and prejudice in the world, but we've come a long way
Sometimes I like to come back to this just to get that serotonin boost. I'm extremely glad she was able visit and live to see the progress made with racism. We still have more to fight but this woman who has seen so much got a massive win for sure for her struggles
hey
While I am glad for her. I don't think things have changed that much. It's just a façade.
In case you're wondering, Virginia McLaurin is still alive, she's 111.
edit: 112

final edit: Rest in peace, Miss Virginia, you were awesome 🥲
And she gets to see a black woman as the vice president too!
Lovely!
Wow😍😍❤
@@KrishtiBhattacharjee she ain’t black lol

I think thats the beauty of america. And true democracy
Hope it stays that way!
If Trump saw this video he would order her dead that’s how racist he is.
It must be disappointing that we still are divided because of racism, sexism and homophobia as of 2020.
You can love the president, you can hate the president, but you cannot deny that this was heartwarming
Agree 1000%
Jeremy Xu I can live with that.
sanatani ji Obama hadn't done much of anything to stop North Korea or Isis. Ever since Trump had become president, Isis is dying and we slowed the growth of North Korea...
"slowed the growth of north korea" Except they have made huge leaps forward with their missile tests... sure Trump slowed them down, He's doing nothing but fanning the flames by having petulant squabbles with NK

This woman lived 75 years of her life with segregation. Now she’s meeting the first black president. Wonderful.
Bryson Burnette you mean 54 years... segregation ended in 1964. She was born in 1910.
Who was the first black president?
Obama...?
Bryson Burnette he wasn’t black. He was mixed.
James Boss I know racism still exists, but segregation ended in 64. That meant black peoples were legally allowed to go to the same schools, colleges, workplaces, buses as white people. Obviously some areas would violate that law a bit, but segregation ended in in most areas. Racism still exists.

+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.
John Smith Against racism yet you deem all whites as racists. Oh the hypocrisy.
The amount of stupid in your comment is amazing.
VINCE SAVAGE ok I'm black and your comment does not make much sense. The Irish were slaves in other countries during different times before africans were brought to America, they immigrated here (majority) during the early 1900s due to the "AMERICAN DREAM" same goes for other nationalities.
I’m crying. A full circle moment for this inspiring woman.
Imagine how people died wanting to say "a Black President."
She said it for all of them.
SO MUCH YES TO THIS🙌🙌
that gave me the chills dude
That's the only reason Obama was elected, yes, because your skin colour is certainly going to make a difference for a country, unfortunately it didn't work for America.

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...
Yup, racism is alive and well. And Obama and his wife keep stirring that pot. There's plenty of 106-year-old men and women out there, but why just this one?
+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.
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.
+Brownland Cleve Well Said!
Al Garabedian because it was black history month you moron. Why would he pick a 106 year old white person of black history month? And he actually didn't choose her. Her white neighbors (one being the white lady in the background) started a Facebook group for her to get into the White House before she passes. Some people will find the negative in ANYTHING. Geez
She is Black History. 106 years all she has seen and lived through.
She deserves a long interview

She is more than just Black History. She is Past, Present, and Future of ALL History, bless her.

T-roy Stein Well, not ALL history. But it’s fascinating to know that she has live through two world wars.

Same
I hope she does too :)
I love it
I was thinking the same. I’m so happy she lived to see the first black President and first black VP get elected to office. Wish my dad was alive to see these proud moments.
Kamala harris is an awful human being. It's not going to happen
This never gets old to watch!
So happy she was blessed to meet them!!
this made me cry this lady was so glad to see president Obama after all the things she has been through. that lady is a history lesson in flesh n bones.
First learn how to write correct English and then you may comment. Just because your opinion is different does not mean you can insult someone and call them a "parasite"
Agreed 100%, Sofia.
thank you. the person who had commented deleted their comment guess they were ashamed of what they had wrote.
The fact and odd that she would even live to see this makes this clip worth it. I had a couple of aunts who were in their 90s when he was elected and they thought they would never see this day.
I know it made me tear up. people now adays well all of us complain about our lives and misfortunes but we really ha e no idea what people in the past have encountered. it is sad that men and women have died and been mistreated because of race and color. it's sad that history just keeps repeating itself bit I'm glad she got to meet him.
I haven't cried in 6 months but when she said a black president and a black wife I got hella teary-eyed and I'm not even black
That's beautiful, I'm glad you were able to finally let go, hopefully you feel better now ❤
😌❤️😘😘😘
Yeah, it was HOW she said it. That look in her face. My grandpa was born in 1903, died when I was tiny, but had told us his grandpa served in the Civl War, and he had known his gramma. 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.
And now she gets to see a black vice president
Awwwww. So sweet. I got teary eyed also.
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.
Actually I heard that black was thriving before dems took offered them welfare and abortion .. And no reason for dad to stand up .
@@loralarose9615 Why are you bringing up welfare and connecting it to black peoples as if white people aren’t the ones who are on welfare the most? Ignorance at it’s finest.

Yes, especially since she was born in South Carolina.
The Obamas are such classy, extremely loveable people! ❤️

My sentiments exactly.
I bet the civilians in the middle east thought the same when the drones dropped the bombs on them
How emotional. This woman went through every attempt of freedom of black history since 1900? And now she gets awarded with the joy of seeing her people in such a strong an important position. Imagine how as a teenager she would have never thought that could be possible.

@Rick Stuifzand neither are you. What's your point? You don't have to go to school just to read a book.
@Rick Stuifzand Lol she really should have not said that cuz she does not know how smart you are, lol.
Shots fired
Polish people: Get hit harder than anyone in history. Polish person: Move to America. Black person: I'm oppressed because of history. Polish people: We were oppressed in history. Black people: White people have never been oppressed
Can you imagine TFG being so kind and caring to anyone? Not unless they paid him, and he still wouldn't have the warmth and charm of the Obamas.
Absolutely not to a super Eldress Black woman.

love or hate the obamas, you can’t deny that they were a class act, honestly they’re what i picture a presidential team to be
Exactly
I agree I never liked how they ran the U.S (I’m republican) but they were very nice and elegant people and they deserve all the happiness in the world.
Classy, kind, and Presidential! However, I hated his liberal policies!
@Shane Gibson sounds about white
@Shane Gibson get a dictionary 💁🏽♀️
That's the most energetic 106 year old I've ever seen
"A Black President" you know she's waited a long time to say that.

Radha what do you mean good sir, cause he is definitely not white
Radha bruh
@Radha he is his dad is black and his mom is white
@Squabbles he is black🤔😆😆😆😂 yes he's biracial but it isn't incorrect 2 say he's black. Lmfao his skin definitely isn't white🤔😂😆
Imagine the History that woman has experienced.... Someone needs to get a tape recorder, and let her talk about her life. Instant History Textbook...
Thomas J Sanford u are so right...real history from someone who actually saw what was happening
Thomas J Sanford Great idea
True ..
That's how special he is to people. He represents everything they struggled to achieve. His accomplishments may not be fully realized in his lifetime, but history will look on him extremely favorably.
I would rather of died at 105 than meeting that POS

@@AlekSchultz He did more harm to black folks than any other pass presidents..... do some research. He is good on camera.
This made me cry. Everything about this is so wholesome, the old lady is a treasure ❤️
Even her memory should be protected, by any means necessary.
This woman is invincible. I refuse to believe she’s so old. So much energy. And she’s still with us! Her birthday is in March.

i can't imagine how she felt after all that shitty history...jesus. she's seen a lot of stuff happen. just wild to consider.
TheUltimateBeta 1959 lmao um the civil rights movement didn't happen until the '50s , world war 1and 2 , Vietnam war , her mother and grandmother were probably slaves . You're so ignorant it's cracking me up 😂😂😩
TheUltimateBeta 1959 Why do so many ignorant white people (Not all, just the ignorant ones) want to act like segregation didn't exist? I find it *so* funny 😂🤣😄

everyone is living in history consider that

This is how a president and First Lady should be. Kind, courteous, respectful, friendly. You are both sorely missed. Thank you both for what you did for this country and the world.
Dang, she’s got more energy than me and I’m only 17
Lol. I know.
@@lisadiconti wait how do you know that
Remember we're only young for a short time. What you do today will reflect on your tomorrow's. Keep yourself and your mind busy. Use your imagination. Instead of looking something up on a computer, go to the library and read it in a book.
STFU if you take care of yourself you'll still be young
@@lindahull4801 i don't know you but im so glad that i read your comment 😭🥰 i need this
This made cry. Remember when this was our White House?? I miss this, so bad. I didn’t support everything Obama did, but he had a way with people.
Obama was a great guy. Just not exactly fit for president.
He’s at least better than our current president. That’s good enough
rick nguyen Obama was good at the beginning, now he sucks
@@GianlucaBerger Well, I mean I guess you're right. He left office 4 years ago, so he probably sucks now.
rick nguyen I feel like towards the end he started passing stupid things in a panic because Trump won
It is okay to cry watching this.. believe me
Thanks, because I'm bawling.
I cried too
Every time I watch this video!
And I did😥
Who can watch this without crying?
These 2 were so absolutely deserving to be in the White House. Beautiful !
She became like a child who saw their Super hero 🤣❤😊
Sony Rstu for someone who witnessed Slavery to meet the a president who is black is super
@@huzzy3989 She didn't witness slavery, but she probably did sharecropping.
@@chukwudiilozue9171 she probably witnessed the last few parts of it.
@@DreamlandRosesShe was born in the early 1900s, long after slavery was over.
"A black president" that lines tells a very long and sad story
Indeed it does

This is probably mean and weird but I hope Virginia outlives the Queen (SHE DID!!! YAYYY)
@@lazsubbz same
I hope they both live a lot longer. The queen is 94 now and her mom was 101 so hopefully she’ll live a lot longer. As for Virginia that’s so amazing she’s still doing great at 111!!! I would love to meet and talk with her!
Betty White is taking that W😂
An Elderly Woman like Her is one to appreciate and learn from. One who has been through it all. God Bless Her.
These are the kind of things that humble me. The woman is twice Obama's age but still looks up to him. Now that is greatness.
Mike M Amen
UA-cam, why'd you wait nearly 3 years to notify this to me? This is a gem!
Bro sameeeee😂😂🤭
FOR REAL
So she was born in / around 1910? Boy, l bet she never dreamed back then she’d live to see a black president much less get to meet him.
Yes she is a piece of living history!
She was born in March 12, 1909.
What a beautiful lady and inspiration...I have been blessed justto see this video. Thanks to the President and the First Lady, too. Imagine all this and she is still alive and dancing at age 113 now.
The more impressive thing is... she’s still kicking at the age of 111. This woman is really something!
I just looked her up because I was so hopeful she was still alive. 111! Can you imagine! :O
I'm glad I found this comment, I was curious if she was still living. I'm so happy to hear she is
Ooh she might actually live to break the record! I think the oldest people alive right now are around 117?
@@hez5160 She must have a positive outlook on life.
@@321scully I think you're right. So my great great grandmother lived to be 106. Whenever someone asked her the secret to long life she would grin and say "Peanut Butter! Eat as much as you like!" I think the secret is happiness and positivity. Not that you never experience or feel deep sadness but that you keep a positive outlook through painful times.
I'm so curious. Being 106, she MUST have seen SO MUCH in her lifetime. I don't say that lightly, I mean LITERALLY. To be in a moment of time PHYSICALLY STANDING NEXT to a president of her country who is by chance the color once hated in her time, must have blown her mind. ... and then we had Trump... hmmmm....
Wut do u mean with "then we had trump"
Adam Heeda it’s a step backwards from a black president to a racist one.
Dyland no I’m white being racist makes you racist 😂
Dyland 😂 obviously
No. Austin
The way she screams "HI" to the president 😭😭💕💕💕
Yeah deep emotional amazing moment
That is not just a president. Thats a man understanding the time and situation to the fullest and acting according to that.
One of the most important men you Americans have ever grown.
That lady is so cute. And imagine that in all of her life she would had never thought of this becoming a reality! She survived the great depression, Vietnam and the Jim Crow laws. Now a black president. Im not even black and I say glory Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus!
I personally would thank medicine and things like it (:
Im thanking Jesus for all that she has been through. And all that african- americans have overcame. Non believers in Jesus are the people who used to spit on blacks and were for the Jim crow laws. Just like you are mocking me for believing in Jesus. Its people like you all who keep hatred alive. I hope it burns you and consumes you to ashes untill you are nothing. The fire that burns in me is greater then any thing you can throw against me and it gives me everlasting life. Dont mock my God. And God bless you all.
@@TheOnlyRealAlf That's right! We should all thank Jesus!
@@TheOnlyRealAlf No. Im pretty sure a person who is seeking a better relationship with Jesus isnt racist. But then again God is always working on us. I think God does care. Im sorry you feel that he dont care.
@@TheOnlyRealAlf Well God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all one. And Jesus dont stop caring just because someone dies. There is everlasting life for those who believe in him.
Man, this woman is a like a walking history book.... seen it all probably.
This woman has lived to see a black president of USA.
113 years old ...wow!
My heart just melts with pride and so much love ❤
