The U.S. mission in Cuba on Monday published the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on an electronic news "zipper" running along the facade of its sea front building, the latest salvo in an ongoing billboard war.

Evidently timed to coincide with the U.S. holiday remembering Martin Luther King Jr., the messages streaming along the building's fifth floor in luminescent red also included portions of the late civil rights leader's "I Have a Dream" speech translated into Spanish.

Although the new messaging system was activated earlier in the day, neighbors said the words really weren't visible until the sun set. Even then, the words were difficult to read.
