The father of two Black teenage sons said they were racially profiled and discriminated against when a Lee’s Summit, Missouri, water park canceled a birthday party at the last minute this past weekend.

Family members and their attorneys spoke publicly Tuesday, August 9, 2022, about what happened when Summit Waves canceled their son’s 17th birthday party citing fears that the party had attracted too many people.

“What are you scared of, Lee’s Summit?” asked Chris Evans, who had organized the event that was to take place Saturday. “Why are you uncomfortable?”
