Beginning in the 1960's and continuing through the mid-70s, Rose Murray captured the soul and spirit of Majesty Gardens, a seldom seen part of Kingston, Jamaica referred to as "Shantytown." Rose was able to document the inherent beauty of that neighborhood in black and white photographs which are deeply moving.
