There's nothing ugly about this woman.. reaching 106 and still being so enthusiastic and dignified....considering the period she has lived through. What dignity.
+Matt Agreed. She's a beautiful person.

I bet she gets a lot of people wanting pictures with her. It made my heart feel good to see her in the white house and moving so fast that President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama couldn't keep up.
Matteoj Exactly, she's immensely beautiful and I definitely wouldn't mind dating her despite her age
Wonderful! !
Physical beauty is achieved by many, it takes a special someone to be beautiful at 106.
Inner beauty won't die, will it?
😌That was an absolutely beautifully said💕
She probably has aging genes similar to Kane Tanaka who is currently 117 yrs old.
@@notthatdigusted7468 she's 111
Her smile is so infectious. Love her 💕
She actually lived to see a Black president...just think of the history of racism, bigotry, prejudice and plain ole ignorance this women has seen and experienced...then to meet an impossible dream...mind blowing.
so true
+bee nasty EXACTLY!!!
Yea I think that's why everyone watched in the first place...
trluy cant imagine how she feels. imagine suffering through segregation and fighting for rights to seeing a black man run the USA. truly amazing. gives me goosebumps
@@Mine-Finder The two major parties are the opposite of what they were in the past, like how the Republican party used to be the progressive party when it was formed but now it's the party full of corrupt, treasonous, racist buffoons
She makes me smile. : )
Me too
Jonssyy Jons and me too
well she made me cry.....
She inspires me to be a better human being.
From ear to ear, can’t stop smiling when I see her, she exudes joy
She lived through Jim Crow and Obama. What a change! God bless her!
)
Jim Crow STILL applies.
Just imagine the life she has gone through as a black woman, and how she felt when she met the first black president in person. She witnessed the history had made.
she sure did
Our bodies are purely vessels that carry the real beauty within us.

That is SCRIPTURE... the GLORY is in earthen (dirt/dust) vessels!!!👍🤗😍😁🕊❤
She passed away at 113. What a legacy of kindness. A life well lived. Take a bow Miss McLaurin because you are an example of how we all should behave and love on earth. Rest in Peace sweetness.
This 107 year old lady lived through WWI, WWII, Cold War, Cuban Missile Crisis, Downfall of the Soviets, Civil Rights, 9/11, War on Terrorism. She will have lived through 19 presidents from Taft to Trump by 2017. God bless her heart.
God has truly blessed this woman! Alot of people are dying at such a young age while this lady makes it through soooo many years. I'm amazed
And she is now living coronavirus. Hope she survives.
@@AshwaniKumar-sr8hh she is still alive?
WOW.she is amazing! n still smiling!
@@moeketsiseisa8318 Yes, she is!
Can someone do a Documentary on her and her life. I know she has some wonderful stories to tell. It would be a lose if we don't.
She's still alive at 111 years!
That would be awesome as I am a McClaurin and never seen or heard of her. I remember seeing the news 4 years ago, but brushed it off. She has fearures of my late grandfather. They're from Mississippi and moved to Chicago.
agree
Adorable. Hope she is still alive. God bless her!
As of right now she is.
She's still alive right now, and her 109th birthday is next month!
Moon she literally still alive......as of right now. 110 years old. Wow....
Still alive!
Still alive❤️
Update: its 2020 and she’s still alive
What a blessing!
What an incredible woman! Hope she defies all odds especially during this terrible pandemic 2020.
Wow!!!
I wonder what the secret is
@@gingerhunter3150 Some say "doing what you really love and letting other love you"
she's so energetic for a 106 year old
As of January 2022, she's still going strong at nearly 113 :)
Thank you so much for this update! I literally screamed out of joy. :)
Yes found out on inauguration day that she was still alive, I think I actually shed a tear
She's still alive today. (March 18, 2020)
😮 😯 😲
I admire this woman! how she still in good mood! 106 yo! wow! amazing! amazing! women like her, are 1 in a billion! nice to have a grandma like her! God bless you Virginia! And God bless all black american people!
Carlos Morán+ God bless you & your family as well😊
agree
The stuff this lady has been through...I couldn't imagine...and still smiling...puts it into perspective...I wish her all the best.
Seeing this renews my faith in humanity. The sheer joy of this woman. I'm half her age and angry, bitter, and disillusioned most of the time at the state of the world. I better change my outlook on life like this woman has
Beautiful.
Amen
AMEN SIR 🙏
agree
Wow, she's 106, she can still walk, dance and speak so well. That is amazing. And she's lived through the period when blacks and women didn't have those privileges.
Did you notice she is a volunteer at a daycare? Wow!
im pretty sure we were able to “walk, dance and speak well” in the 19th century, this comment makes no sense
i agree she is wonderful
wow she is still 'working'. You can see that her body is old, but the brain is ok
Yes. Her mind is working normally. She
has been blessed. Many people have much younger than her have memory issues.
Makes me cry watching her joy meeting President Barack Obama.... She is "American History".... the life she lived from Jim Crow to the present... Life Lessons...Wow!!
You Go Virginia!!! Good for her & I hope I can still dance at that age.
I hope I still be alive at 80
Nice. What dignity she has!
The interviewer makes the common mistake of talking to an old folk as if she were a toddler.
I just said the same thing to my brother.
This woman has lived two world war, she lived through the Jim Crow era, she have lived through the civil rights era with Dr King. This woman has lived to see a black president and has been into to white house this is something would've been a dream or even thought of to be impossible when she was young. I hope this lady live to be as old as Moses was in the bible, 120 year old.
Aww what a life. Rest in paradise ❤❤
Mama i love u i wish my mother was like this before she passed off😭😭
I can't even fathom how it must feel to live to see a dream that seemed that impossible.
We are all so honored to have been alive during such a historic and incredible time in US History. Not only the first non white president, but black president. Wow. Under 60 years ago they were fighting to eat and sit in the same place as whites and now a BLACK president. Not only was he the first but he was an incredible, caring, intelligent, loving, tough, funny, cool and wise president. I am going to miss Obama 😢
Watching how happy she was to meet them made me cry. It was so heartwarming. Then she started dancing and I thought holy moly she dances better than me and she's 106. She's the most adorable little old lady~
Seventy years older than me, has more energy, life, and joy than I am even capable of.
Awwww I hear you and relate to that but hopefully, you just like myself and many others @Joel Bizzell will again find our light and joy...💛🙏🏾😔 This is a remarkable story and in someway gives me a little hope.
Virginia McLaurin , May you rest in peace
The fact that her brain is still ok, her ears are still ok just shocks me ❤️❤️
Does that shock you more or less than the fact that its 2020 and she's still going strong at 111?
This woman is something else.. God Bless her!!

What a joy to listen to her and she looks beautiful at 106💖
"i cant get over the attention im getting. I done got so old and ugly" awww that broke my heart.
You are beautiful!
The most stunning part of this is that she is still so mentally sharp. May we all be that blessed.
She's been happy all her life and has a great personality to match it. Everyone has to fall in love with such a beautiful personality. You can't see her past on her face. Its all about the present day for her.
Bless you Ms. McLaurin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe young people aren't as sharp as this beautiful woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her kind gesture towards the child reminds me of my grandma.
she is adorable, make me smile. my grandma just pass she was 101
Just absolutely adorable! She live through so much...... #respect
she's precious. God has shown us her long life and blessed she is.
wow! i just looked her up. she's 111 now!!! that makes me smile.
Wow! Such an inspiration...priceless joy just to see her.
111 and still going strong
What an amazing woman! 106 and she's still clear in her head, truly amazing!
Man to have the experience and knowledge she has would be outta this world. Literally.
god bless her heart ....just imagine what she, as a 106 year old black woman has seen ,lived through and experienced in the way of change. I do NOT like nor have I been a supporter of obummer but I MUST say that I am thrilled for this lovely lady to be able to have lived to see a black president !! Truly a wonderful moment for her I am sure I cannot begin to fully grasp what it must mean and what living a life that had such an oppressive beginning feels like but I can try to imagine. I'm happy for her and and so glad she was invited . God bless her sweet heart . I hope she will have many more happy years in which she can reminisce and relive this joyous time in her life!
Facts!!
ImSPOTon you are a sweet soul. God bless you and have a happy new year.
I totally agree! :)
its at times lile these that i am proud to say am black!!the salma is here! and she lived to experience it.She is a beautiful black woman and i am very honoured to be part of the black nation because of her.
As of 19 January 2020, she is still alive and well. At age 110. May she have a long happy life.
YaY
I can NOT believe she was 106 and moving like was. WOW!
oh my...what a trailblazer!!!! she has seen a lot, been through a lot and survived a lot...BEAUTIFULLY ELEGANT!
And one more thing! You Are Not Old and Ugly, You are Blessed and Beautiful
I read on another video she just turned 111 in March and is still puttin' along just fine. This lady is my favorite type of person. I can't get enough.
This woman is beautiful, sharp, witty, STRONG, coherent, etc... what a beautiful thing. What a blessing. God Bless her. 🙏🏽
I can't stand the way this interviewer is interviewing her though as if she is slow. She obviously needs to watch the tape again with her and the Obamas.
Awww she's so sweet!! Boy the stories she could tell❤❤❤
And she has her own teeth. What a wonderful lady. I want to kiss her.xxx
Mahnaz Andrews hum talk about her having her teeth at that age
This just made my day!
That's the magic of life. To survive through the hardest times to finally see the light.

She is just wonderful. It's so fantastic that she got to meet the president! And they were so sweet to her. I've always loved the Obamas but now I love them even more.
This heartwarming all blessing to her this lady has seen and been thru alot
Just looking at her skin, she really has a beautiful skin for a 106 year old lady....especially her hands. Her hands look like a hand of a 70 year old lady. Beautiful lady.
