 *** According to the producer:
“The undertone of the story is how black, Hispanic and white artists came together on the first truly integrated music tour to begin to break down color barriers, in much the same way Jackie Robinson did in professional baseball.” ***

My question is this: If what the producer said here is pertaining to the actual Winter Dance Party, who was Black on that tour? Nobody that I know of...

A more integrated tour that predates the WDP would be something like Alan Freed's tours of 1957/58 with both Black and White acts appearing on the same stage/bill.
