Lucy Hannah was the oldest African-American on record, as well
as the "oldest living American" at the time of her death. Due to
Jeanne Calment being 118 years old at the time,
Lucy Hannah was the oldest person never to be "world's oldest person."
Born 7/16/1875 in Alabama, she died 3/21/1993 in Michigan. Her family claimed
she was 118, but the case escaped more than local media notice. More than a
decade later, the Social Security Administration's Kestenbaum study verified her
age as 117 years 248 days, age 118 being a slight exaggeration.
