Gone But Not Forgotten features poignant documentary-style photographs taken between 1945 and 1953 of people and activities associated with Flanner House, a social service agency located on the near west-side of Indianapolis. In post WW II times, Flanner House offered programs such as child care, recreation, crafts, food preparation, sewing and building trades to African-Americans who lived in the community.

A tall, lanky white man from Ohio, Fox was assigned by a Quaker-affiliated service organization to photo-document Flanner House and its nearby neighborhood alleys and streets as part of a slum-clearance project. His photographs feature buildings, homes, families, and especially children, and captured such stark images as dilapidated structures and trash, contrasted to children fishing and a centenarian growing old gracefully. Fox also wrote poetry, and the exhibition includes poems written about the neighborhood and its people.

For more detailed information and to view many of the images in this exhibit, see the O. James Fox Collection.
