The MIW Group Mentoring Program is named in memory of Mildred Carter, who, in 1950, with her husband, Andrew “Skip” Carter, launched KPRS/Kansas City, the first African-American-owned radio station in the U.S. Mrs. Carter ran the Carter Broadcast Group for many years after the death of Skip Carter, before turning over control of the company to her grandson, Michael Carter in 1987.
