McLaurin, who was born in 1909, had a whole social media campaign going in an effort to meet the president.
In a video posted to YouTube in December 2014, McLaurin says, "I didn`t think I`d ever live to see a colored president. I am so happy."
McLaurin`s campaign to meet the president included a Facebook page as well as a White House petition.
McLaurin`s wish came true last week, when she met and even danced with the president and Michelle Obama. The White House tweeted video from the meeting on Sunday.
