This seems interesting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_Vodou

 

The spelling voodoo, once very common, is now generally avoided by Haitian practitioners and scholars when referring to the Haitian religion.[8][22][23][24] This is both to avoid confusion with Louisiana Voodoo,[25] a related but distinct set of religious practices, as well as to separate Haitian Vodou from the negative connotations and misconceptions the term "voodoo" has acquired in popular culture.[3][26] Over the years, practitioners and their supporters have called on various institutions including >the Associated Press << to redress this misrepresentation by adopting "Vodou" in reference to the Haitian religion. In October 2012, the Library of Congress decided to change their subject heading from "Voodooism" to Vodou in response to a petition by a group of scholars and practitioners in collaboration with KOSANBA, the scholarly association for the study of Haitian Vodou based at University of California Santa Barbara.[27]
