- African American - Designates the styles surrounding the culture and heritage of African Americans in North America. The styles capture the essence of the African American experience and how personal and political rebellion and triumphs over prejudice and social adversity have enriched and contributed to the music, art, and literature of American culture as a whole.
- buildings (structures) - Structures, generally enclosed, that are used or intended to be used for sheltering an activity or occupancy.
- donkeys - Domesticated descendant of the wild ass. Donkeys resemble horses and are characterized by their large head, long ears, and cow-like tail.
- men - Refers to male human beings from young adulthood through old age.
- power lines - Wires used for transmitting a supply of electrical energy to buildings.
- roads - General term referring to all long outdoor passages used by and generally created by humans, intended to allow people to pass between different places, usually one wide enough to admit of the passage of wheeled vehicles, horses, or travellers on foot.
- wagons (cargo vehicles) - Heavily constructed four-wheeled vehicles originally designed to carry bulk commodities and heavy loads, primarily in agricultural and commercial contexts, and generally characterized as boxes set on running gear; more substantial than carts; known since the 3rd millennium BCE. During the early 19th century some versions were adapted for passenger travel.
