Показать описание
The oldest woman in the US (and maybe the world) is 119-year-old African American woman Rebecca Lanier. Unfortunately the Cleveland resident is not listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as she does not have a birth certificate--African Americans born during this time in Mississippi did not receive one. Listen to this beautiful, wise elder as she celebrates her birthday!

Crazy when you realize how young America really is, and how recent slavery in America was.

Her eyes scream wisdom...it looks like she sees and knows and could discern anything that crosses her path.

God blessed her with a long life and many different moments of reflection and a good sound mind. That's priceless.

I pray that I live to my 100s in good health like her! I work as a nurse aide and I have dealt with people in their 100s and it is so amazing to hear their stories/memories. I hope I live long like this in good health and I hope I can still do things for myself too and I pray that I will be in my right mind like her! Rebecca Lanier is so cool! 119 years God bless her! Its too bad that birth certificates didn't exist back in the day for African-Americans. :(

You know I had a patient once who was a 101 years old...and I told her what a blessing it had to be to make it to be 101. She told me it was alright, but the saddest thing about it is that everyone you were really close to(family and friends) are now gone. It really made me think. I'm glad this lady has her grandson there with her.

She doesn't even look that old, it's the wig they put on her that makes her look older.

According to experts, she is only around 106 years old (she was checked in the 1920 and 1930 censuses). She still can become the oldest person in 9 years or so, even without a birth certificate.
