Exploring family issues and five more things to live through this weekend

1. Make someone cry — if you can score one of the few spots available to interview a family member on the StoryCorps bus while it’s in Brookside and the recording gets played on NPR someday.

2. Run for a good cause. The first Hopkins, Skip and Run Memorial 5k

is set for Saturday morning at Rockhurst University. Registration money

goes to a scholarship fund in the name of homicide victim Nelson

Hopkins Jr.

3. Road trip to Warrensburg. That’s where the Show Me Social Justice International Film Festival happens through Sunday.
