| Plot Summary of On Tour: The Backup Singer |
|---|
"Shanice is proud to be unique, and she's never considered her biracial heritage to be a major part of that. When her cousins move in for the summer, Shanice is faced with the question of how much of her African-American heritage has been pushed aside, and if her replacement as the lead singer of Second Rate was chosen not because of her singing ability, but because of her race."
Frank, Resident Scholar
