McKinney Mom From Pool Party Video Speaks: “This Is Not About Black & White”
CALIFORNIA (CBSDFW.COM) – Speaking for the first time, hundreds of miles away from her North Texas home, Tracy Carver Allbritton gave her account of the June 5 incident at a McKinney pool that made international headlines.
Surrounded by her lawyer, Gloria Allred and African-American friend of more than a decade, Aaron Clark, Tracy spoke about the afternoon she took her two children, grandchild and a visiting friend to the Craig Ranch North Community Pool, where she has lived for 11 years.
She says she noticed about an hour after she arrived at the pool, a BBQ with a DJ was being set up outside the pool gates. Within a half an hour, several of the party goers had made their way into the pool area.
“By the time our security officer arrived for his scheduled shift, the pool had been overtaken by unruly teenagers and young adults,” said Tracy. She says many of them became upset when they were asked for key cards to prove their residency and complained it was because of the color of their skin. However, she said everyone at the pool, including herself, was asked to prove they lived in the community.
