Robin Roberts was overcome with emotions while reading a letter sent to her from her father
In the teaser clip of her interview, Robin explains: "My daddy taught me this about fear… when fear knocks let faith answer the door."
"At 19-years-old heading down to Alabama to be a pilot when so many people didn't want that to happen, he didn't let fear get in his way, he did not let fear stand in his way.
"My dad wrote a letter to his children, the 'n----o experiment' was a term never used by the Tuskegee Airmen. Robin reads the letter her father sent her: "We did not view our lives in the air-force as an experiment, but as our God given opportunity, and our right as American citizens to use our talents for glory to God and to our country."

Struggling, Robin continues reading her father's letter: "Commissioned and non commissioned, mechanic, pilots, navigators all who have placed duty to God and country before themselves.
