I don't think it was practiced in the form of "Vodoun" like it was in West Africa -- to be labeled a ADOS cultural religion. But, major elements and influences of Vodoun were definitely integrated into our spiritual and religion practices. Conjure, Rootwork and Hoodoo being three - as well as later on.... Spiritualism.
A great book to learn more would be Mojo Workin': The Old African American Hoodoo System.
In this book, Katrina Hazzard-Donald explores African Americans' experience and practice of the herbal, healing folk belief tradition known as Hoodoo. Working against conventional scholarship, Hazzard-Donald argues that Hoodoo emerged first in three distinct regions she calls "regional Hoodoo clusters" and that after the turn of the nineteenth century, Hoodoo took on a national rather than regional profile. The first interdisciplinary examination to incorporate a full glossary of Hoodoo culture, Mojo Workin': The Old African American Hoodoo System lays out the movement of Hoodoo against a series of watershed changes in the American cultural landscape. Throughout, Hazzard-Donald distinguishes between "Old tradition Black Belt Hoodoo" and commercially marketed forms that have been controlled, modified, and often fabricated by outsiders; this study focuses on the hidden system operating almost exclusively among African Americans in the Black spiritual underground.

We have to protect our culture and history.
We cannot be so inclusive.
I have no problem with black people of other ethnicities but they are quick to disrespect and disregard our culture and history.

It's interesting how Canada has lowkey become the top destination for the Nigerian diaspora. Ignoring citizenship eligibility, most would prefer the UK. The UK has London and the city has well worn roads for the Nigerian diaspora. It's also a shorter return flight.
Canada has Toronto, the central landing point for the Nigerian diaspora. Sure, you'll find Nigerians in Vancouver, Calgary and lesser populated cities, but you'll also see Nigerians in Manchester or Newcastle. The US is different in that there's no "central" city. No one can categorically point to THE dominant city for Nigerians.

1st it was a culture of freedom sharing. Then it became a melting pot culture (ex: oh you talk like us, you're invited to the BBQ). Finally it became a product to be shipped.
What those 3 things have in common, is that it was shaped and narrated by a disproportionate external force. That's where the cutting has to begin.
IMO, of course.
