In a statement Friday, host Valderrama said Latino achievements and contributions need to be highlighted more than ever at what he called a ‘critical’ time.

The ALMAs — American Latino Media Arts Awards — are back after a three-year hiatus in time for the 50th anniversary of Unidos US, previously known as National Council of La Raza.

Unidos US is the nation’s largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization. In 1995 it created the ALMAs as a way to promote fair, accurate and balanced portrayals of Latinos in the entertainment industry.

Fuse Media made a multi-year agreement to become the exclusive multi platform media home of the ALMAs.
