Richardson on May 11, 1974 and incorporated in the state of Missouri on August 28, 1974. Tim Richardson contributed numerous ideas in the formation of the organization. UMMA had the assistance of 21 charter members pooling their ideas and resources to provide services for the betterment of the minority community, establishing a network system among minorities in media and initiated a seven year media career awareness seminars in junior and senior high schools in the central city of Kansas City, Missouri. In 1976, the membership grew to 129 members, thus becoming the trendsetter and vehicle promoting positive images in the community as well as orientating the minority community on the interworkings of broadcast and print media. UMMA became an affiliate of the National Black Media Coalition (NBMN), home based in Washington, D.C. in 1982.
