In the 1980s, the cult of Anastácia expanded from her mainly black and impoverished following to include many progressive, middle-class whites. In 1984, an effort funded by the oil company Petrobras to officially canonize Anastácia brought her considerable attention. Seen as a symbol of racial harmony, her popularity expanded rapidly, especially among nurses, black women, and prisoners. There were radio dramatizations of her life; investigative reports and a popular miniseries were produced for television. She was also integrated into the Umbanda faith as one of the pretos velhos ("old black slaves").[citation needed]
