One significant event that lead to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the March from Selma to Montgomery. The purpose of this peaceful protest was to register black voters in the state of Alabama. However, these peaceful protestors were met with violence from white citizens who did not want to see blacks have a significant voice in the political realm. This outbreak of violence showed that the federal government needed to make a law to help protect African-American voting rights, hence resulting in the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Answer from: IntellTanito

the event that was part of the course of this bill's passage by Congress is Freedom Bus Ride

Further explanation

Freedom Rides on the Bus (Freedom Rides) are actions carried out by Civil Rights activists on segregated Southern buses. This action aims to test the decision of the United States Supreme Court (1960).

In Anniston, Alabama a bus was burned with a firebomb, so passengers were forced to run to save lives. In Birmingham, Alabama, an FBI informant reported about the Public Safety Commissioner named Eugene "Bull" Connor. According to the informant, Connor gave the Ku Klux Klan members 15 minutes to attack the Freedom Rides before "protection" arrived from the police who deliberately arrived late at the scene. Freedom Rides activists were beaten to a pulp "until they looked like they had been attacked by a bulldog"

On May 24, 1961, Freedom Rides activists continued their journey to Jackson, Mississippi. In the city, they were arrested on the charge of "violating peace" for using "special white" facilities. New acts of freedom of riding a bus are organized by various different organizations. After activists arrived in Jackson, they were arrested. Until the end of the summer of 1961, more than 300 activists were jailed in Mississippi.
