Here’s another one from W+K and Levi’s, part of the Go Forth campaign, based on another Walt Whitman poem.

Whitman wrote this poem in 1888, speaking about the larger cultural shift of Manifest Destiny, or westward expansion.

While this advertisement romanticizes a sense of national pride and American culture, the campaign received criticism based on the fact that Levi’s does most of its manufacturing overseas. (See the two most popular YouTube comments for this video as evidence.)
