Clip: 2/22/2016 | 1m 41s

McLaurin was able to fulfill her dream and bust a move with the president and first lady.

106-year-old Virginia McLaurin has lived through 18 different presidents, though she never thought she’d live to see an African-American in the White House, let alone meet him. But thanks to an online campaign, McLaurin was able to fulfill her dream and even bust a move with the president and first lady. The White House commemorated the meeting with a video released on social media.
