By the time you get to be 106, you have seen and done a lot. And Virginia McLaurin is almost 107. But last week, McLaurin did something for the first time. She went to the White House. There, she met President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. She said it was something she never thought she would be able to do. “I thought I would never get in the White House,” McLaurin said, in a video posted on the White House’s Facebook page over the weekend. McLaurin is an African-American resident of Washington, D.C. She was born in 1909 in South Carolina. A video of her celebrating Black History Month with the Obamas last week got people giddy on social media. Black History Month is celebrated every February, and it recognizes the contributions African-Americans make to the world. More than 25 million people have seen the video since it was released Sunday night. The video was shared nearly 500,000 times on Facebook.
