A family from the Kansas City metropolitan area that claims they were the victims of racial discrimination at a water park in Lee’s Summit is garnering increasing support from the local community.
This weekend, the Evans family, which includes their two teenagers, will celebrate a large birthday party for their two teenagers at Summit Waves, a well-known water park. According to Evans, the party will cost them a total of $2,000.
Nevertheless, the pool administrators did not permit them to enter the park when they turned up for the party on Saturday, and as a result, the celebration was cancelled.
The management of the water park informed the family that they had some reservations about the gathering.
Trump claims that the FBI conducted a raid at Mar-a-Lago.
The father of the two teenagers, Chris Evans, filed a complaint with the municipal officials of Lee’s Summit about the incident, stating that his family is African-American and that the city’s department of parks and recreation is unfairly treating them because of their race.
On Monday, a handful of people voiced their unhappiness with the way that this disagreement was managed by congregating in front of the front gates of Summit Waves and demonstrating.
The protesters stated that they did not have a personal relationship with the Evans family, but that they had read posts on social media stating that the Evans family had a signed contract authorising as many as 250 youngsters to attend.
However, according to a statement issued by the City of Lee’s Summit, the family had advertised the party on social media, which resulted in approximately 500 people showing up for the shindig that was held on Saturday. This was approximately twice as many people as they had agreed to have attended.
One of the protesters, Sarah Washington, was quoted as saying, “That’s how I feel; that they were judged by the colour of their skin, and that these are African-American teenagers, and she may have felt uncomfortable, but if they paid and signed a contract, then they should have been allowed to come in.”
Ivan Nugent, the attorney for the Evans family, stated in an interview with FOX4 on Monday that the Evans family has not yet received an apology or a refund.
Due to financial constraints, the Lawrence school board may have to close schools.
We hope that the suburbs will become more tolerant of people of different backgrounds. Another protestor named Laura Logan said, “We would like to see more acceptance of diversity specifically in Lee’s Summit.”
The city sent a statement to FOX4 explaining why the party was cancelled at the water park: there were simply too many individuals expected to attend.
It was not until the hours leading up to the event that a connection was made with the renter, even though numerous attempts had been made to contact the renter in advance of the event to discuss safety concerns. “At that point, we were left with no other choice except to call off the event,” said the statement.

The Evans family, according to the protesters, is owed an apology at the very least. This statement from the city suggests that they want to work with the family, but any meetings must be risk-free.
