Virginia McLaurin (nee Campbell, March 12, 1909 – November 14, 2022) was an American community volunteer and a semi-supercentarian or a supercentenarian, since her birth certificate was not found but she is believed to have been born between 1909 and 1917. Being born under the Jim Crow Laws, such 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, during a reception held for annual Black History Month, and also for her longevity claim, which although reported extensively by the media press remained unsourced by government and official records.
