----<blockquote>[[File:HR Presenters 2 Day 366-1.png|thumb|609x609px]]What is iconography? It is the visual images we acquire and use and our interpretation of these.  Basically, any visual depiction that is used to convey cultural, or historical or symbolic meaning represents an example of iconography.  In essence, it refers to the messages that we get from images, objects, events, and circumstances that we are exposed to in our individual and collective life spaces.  We simultaneously live in three life spaces—a personal life space, a societal life space, and a global life space--and it is in these contexts that iconographic messages about Black manhood are encountered by Black men and women.[[File:Youth Singing HR Day 366-1.png|left|thumb|544x544px|alt=|[https://youtu.be/8XnOZhgIpYg?t=6514 And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going - From the film Dream Girls]]]The intent of this session, therefore, is to have a dialogue between Black men and women about some of the messages about Black manhood that we have encountered in our three life spaces. Through the lens of our individual and collective transitions in consciousness, some of the sources of these iconographic messages about Black manhood may come from history, family & friends, ancestors, ethnic or race-linked childhood direct experiences, societal role models, global pan-African role models, specific neighborhoods or communities, churches, various image-making media (T.V., movies, radio, social media platforms, books), and the like. Each panelist, therefore, will offer their perspective in dialogue about the iconography of Black manhood and where or how they were encountered.  Regardless of race, however, it can be argued that all people on the planet encounter and internalize, to some extent, various iconographic messages about Black manhood in their own unique ways--accepting, modifying, or rejecting them as they get screened into their conscious minds in their three life spaces.
