The True Story Behind The “Blind Side”

Leigh Anne Touhy Has Become A Social Crusader

Leigh Anne Touhy has said in many interviews that Michael Oher changed her family’s views on the world. That change can be seen in the story she shared on Facebook about two young black men who were being judged by visitors to one of her family’s fast food restaurants.

“They showed me their phones and they were texting friends trying to scrape up $3.00 each for the high school basketball game! Well, they left with smiles, money for popcorn and bus fare. We have to STOP judging people and assuming and pigeon-holing people! Don’t judge a book by its cover or however, you’d like to express the sentiment! Accept others and stop seeing what you want to see!!” It looks like Michael Oher changed his new family’s life just like they changed his.
