In anticipation ofJackie Robinson, EW can exclusively share a clip focused on Robinsons wife, Rachel.
President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle also appear, drawing parallels from the Robinsons marriage to their own.
It was important for us to feel that they couldnt separate us.
They could do a lot of things to us but they couldnt separate us.
No Rachel, no Jackie, Burns says point-blank.
Jackies an extraordinary athlete and amazing, but I dont know how he couldve done it alone.
Theres nothing more important than family, than a real partnership …
I dont think you wouldve had Jackie Robinson without Rachel.
