A "conductor" was someone who accompanied and guided the slaves as they moved between "stations" (houses and farms) as they made their way, over days or weeks, to the non-slave states.


Is there an underground railroad for battered women if so how does one make contact in Michigan?

The 'underground railroad' title is often misunderstood. During slavery there was an actual underground railroad to bring blacks into Canada or to other States. The term 'Underground Railroad' for battered women means there is a retreat for battered women and their children to go too to be protected; given support and free legal counsel. In Michigan for years there was no retreat for battered women or children to go and a 'safe house' was inspired to house well over 750 women during the 1980's and over 1,000 children.
