This was a powerful representation of the civil rights era: A sculpture made from the charred remains of a torched church from, I believe, Birmingham, Alabama in the early 60s. The pieces of wood dangled in a precise arrangement from the ceiling.
Update: Thanks to a commenter I can now credit the artist: Cornelia Parker.
