President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama meet with 106-year-old Virginia McLauren. A Black American, through her life, she was an American community volunteer, seamstress, manager of a laundry, farm worker, and a semi-supercentarian or a supercentenarian, since her birth certificate was not located (or her official birthdate not recorded) and she is believed to have been born between 1909 and 1917. Being born under the Jim Crow Laws, such a fact is not unusual, as the public records at the time for Black and Native Americans were sometimes missing or inaccurate. A resident of Washington, D.C., she gained notability after a video of her dancing with President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House went viral, where she attended to receive the President's Volunteer Service Award for her service to the community on February 18, 2016

Poem titled Hope by Clara Ann Thompson The saddest day will have an eve, The darkest night, a morn; Think not, when clouds are thick and dark, Thy way is too forlorn. For ev’ry cloud that e’er did rise, To shade thy life’s bright way, And ev’ry restless night of pain, And ev’ry weary day, Will bring thee gifts, thou’lt value more, Because they cost so dear; The soul that faints not in the storm, Emerges bright and clear.
