Who was Jackie Robinson's wife?

Jackie Robinson's wife was Rachel Robinson.

Rachel Annetta Isum met Jackie Robinson while both attended UCLA. They began their relationship in the early 1940s, before Robinson entered professional baseball and broke Major League Baseball's color barrier.

The couple married on February 10, 1946, one year before Robinson debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers. After their marriage, Rachel used the surname Robinson, making “Rachel Isum” an incomplete answer to the question about his wife.

Rachel Robinson was a nurse, professor, and civil-rights advocate. Following Jackie's death in 1972, she founded the Jackie Robinson Foundation, which supports education and leadership opportunities for young people. She remained an important figure in preserving and extending her husband's legacy.
